Top five news anchors to watch in 2013.

Female
TV anchors have become an indispensable part of news in Kenya. The
number of people watching a particular TV station’s news heavily relies on the
aesthetic value brought by the female anchors. KTN was for long
a favorite of many during the days of Catherine Kasavuli, a trend
they maintained by getting on board Lillian Muli. Today, TV stations are trying
to outdo each other with hot anchors, and quite a number of anchors are
currently being groomed to take over the helms of news reading. Here are a few
big ones to watch in 2013.

Victoria
Rubadiri

Victoria
Rubadiri had been reading news at Capital Fm before Nation Media Group came calling.
KTNwanted her but it is alleged her former workmate Ann Kiguta who is at KTN
stood in the way. A mother of

one daughter, Victoria is a graduate of Temple University
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s degree in
broadcast journalism. She has experience working as a freelance PR consultant
in New Jersey and New
York, as well as broadcast media at WMGM NBC 40 television station
in Linwood, New Jersey. Her looks and voice get
audiences rallying behind her and is a sure replacement for former NTV anchors,
Linda Ogutu and Peninah Karibe.

Alice
Odera

Alice
Atieno Odera of Citizen TV has had people talking about her for sometime now.
Odera is an experienced image consultant, and owns Beauty Logic Image
Management, an image/personal branding consulting firm that provides synergy
services to corporations and individuals.

This
curvaceous lady was on the front line in the raising funds for the medical
treatment of some of Loreto Convent Msongari's bus accident victims.
Odera and Morgan are expected to fill the gaps left by Terryanne Chebet
who left for CCTV, and Tony Timase who has joined K24.

Michelle
Morgan

She
got heads turning when she first hit the Citizen TV screen reading business
news. News of this sultry business news reader spread across social networks
like wildfire with everyone wanting to get a glimpse of her. She has since
cemented her position as an anchor and is in line to becoming one of the bigwig
female news anchors in the country.

Joy
Doreen Biira

She
works for KTN as a reporter but also anchors sometimes. The station is grooming
her for the next level probably anchoring prime time news as many times as the
likes of Ann Kiguta. Joy comes from Uganda and has put up a good fight
to earn a place in the very competitive TV scene. Her looks and demeanor
definitely go a long way in getting numbers behind her.

Charity
Kimani

Charity
was raised in the USA
and is a journalist by profession. Her Twitter bio reads, "Journalist at
KTN : was raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Future Anchor" clearly an
indication that the bigwigs at KTN are looking to have a Lilian Muli effect when
she finally sits on that prime time news seat.
